                    I've got to the stage where I'm taking Abbey to small claims court.
I've filed the claim with the court and Abbey have just filed that they are defending the claim. I really didn't expect for Abbey to defend and I am not sure what I now need to do?
Do I now just wait the full 28 days until the court does something or am I now meant to do something knowing that they are defending?
Please help!!

The likelyhood maybe that they will look to get a stay on the claim pending the OFT test case. Is this a credit card or bank charges case?I've got to the stage where I'm taking Abbey to small claims court.

It's claiming bank charges. Is there anyway I can just go ahead?
When is this OFT test case meant to finish? I was under the impression that the banks were just paying out and it wasn't much hassle to make a claim.0 - 
            Once Abbey file their defence, the court will almost certainly stay the claim. Unless you can demonstrate severe financial hardship, it's a waiting game.0

Oh right. Does this probably mean I'm not going to get a payout anytime soon?
Do I need to do anything on the moneyclaim site, or do I just wait for the courts decision?0 -

You are going to need more patience waiting for the court case to go through than you have shown in waiting for a reply here :rotfl: (only teasing)
